Not again – the basement is flooded
Notes:
- One of the worst home events that can happen, you find that your basement has flooded.
- Why again? It could be the plumbing pipes that have broken or has aged over time.
- It might be time to call a plumber to inspect the piping: find plumbing services
- Another issue with flooded basements may be the table water in your area – that is where a sump comes into play – it pumps out water that seeps into the low part of the basement: how sump works
- But if your foundation is weak or cracked, rising table water from rain or snow can seep into the basement. Get your foundation inspected: find foundation inspectors

Not the washer again
Notes:
- The latest washing machines are better built – they will seldom leak.
- But there is a possibility that your washing machine may have a faulty part or hose intake/outtake breakage that will cause a slight flood.
- It may be time to replace the washing machine hoses – they do wear down over time.
- You might also consider placing a drip pan underneath the washer – a nice flood prevention in the event of machine breakage: find appliance technician

That darn toilet – and other
Notes:
- Basements toilets are at the lowest point in the house – if you experience a drainage problem – either inside or outside of the house – your toilet may flood.
- It might be time to inspect your drains – especially the drainage line that carries water away from the house.
- Outside drainage lines can get clogged by tree roots and other underground debris that seep into the line: find drainage inspectors
- Toilets can also flood when children place toys or other non-flushable items in the toilet.
- Time to have a discussion with your children about items that should not be placed in the toilet: what not to flush down the toilet
